BELSONIC, located in Custom House Square in Belfast, and running from 11th – 15th August, will comprise a series of 3, large scale out-door events, delivering all the atmosphere of a music festival in the most urban and convenient of settings, and presenting an unprecedented opportunity for a Northern Irish audience to get this close to some of the worlds’ largest artists, while basking in this warmth of this bespoke location.
Each day’s lineup will contribute to a varied programme encompassing a wealth of huge international names, side by side with the hottest in emerging talent. The organisers are promising thoughtful and high quality onsite services to match the musical ambition. This ambitious production will appeal to a wide rage of age-groups, catering for both the young and old, and represents a significant addition to Belfast's summer schedule.
Set in the vibrant, and bespoke Cathedral Quarter area, the BELSONIC site is overlooked by a number of city landmarks including the historic Albert Clock and Custom House Building, set side by side with the newly emerging skyline of the regenerating Belfast.
BELSONIC's opening night will feature a headline performance from multi Platinum selling, and Grammy Award winning, U.S. alternative rock band THE FLAMING LIPS, considered by many to be the highlight of 2006's Electric Picnic Festival, and cited by Q Magazine as 'Of Of The 50 Bands To See Before You Die'.
THE ENEMY head up day 2, while August 15th's lineup will be headlined by THE ZUTONS. Self styled as “Liverpool's first great band of the 21st centuryâ€, The Zutons' boisterous, hook-laden music has scored them a string of hit singles, and should provide a perfect summer evening party soundtrack.
